I almost decided not to play EQ because of the motion sickness issue. I've never been able ot play 3D games because of it. The first thing I did was switch to a third-person view (behind my character with the camera panned all the way down and a few feet visible above her head and below her feet). That helps most of the time, except when I'm invisible with no see-invisible or in a closed-in area like a city (Freeport is still no fun) or dungeon.

I still got very, very ill for the first few weeks I played, but I found it largely went away the more I played. The only time it's still a problem are in the closed-in areas and with invis. Still looking for a good, cheap see-invis item that will solve that problem on my rogue.

I know a few others who have the same problem, and the third-person view and time spent playing seem to lessen if not eliminate the problem.
